James 3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
The bitter words that are being spoken daily and the hatred being stoked, coming from the mouth, must be traced right back to the source. The Bible says it’s the work of devils, because they have the ability to intrude into a person’s thoughts, words, and their deeds. This is the plain truth, without any gravy, or salad dressing, and we must now confront this reality in real time from the Scriptures.
Think about it for a moment, if satan could speak through Peter, who was a disciple of Christ, imagine what he could do through persons who are not in Christ. The Bible does not beat around the bush, nor does it mince words about the source of what folks are seeing currently, and therefore, we must pay close attention to the following passages, for they reveal truths that most people would have difficulty being reconciled to.
James 3: 3 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths that they may obey us, and we turn about their whole body. 4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the captain wants. 5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindles!
James 3:7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind. 8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
